Photography Copyrights

Protecting photographers from copyright infringement since 1984

Professional photographers are among the most prolific producers of copyrighted materials. Because they rely so heavily on their work as a source of income, they suffer a tremendous impact when their photos are used without their permission or compensation. And with the widespread, unauthorized use of photos on the internet, the threat to their livelihoods is severe.

A photo copyright is violated when someone copies, distributes or displays a copyrighted image without the permission of the copyright owner. A photo is copyrighted the moment it is taken and saved to a hard drive.

As with any copyright infringement, proving photographic infringement requires proving ownership of a copyrighted image and proof of copying. Copying may be obvious, or it may be shown by indirect evidence that demonstrates the infringer had access to the original work and the new creation is substantially similar to the copyrighted work.
